My Baby's Cuter Than Your Baby

In this competitive blogosphere, it is not enough to merely have the most readers. Nope, the real question is, who has the cutest baby? I do.

Cakes is a giving little soul; she likes to feed the people she loves:

She’s showing signs of being an ESFJ, like her mother. At the drop-in the other day, a mom and her one-year old came in for the first time. Cakes approached the baby immediately and gave her the toy she was playing with. Then she got down a fire truck for her from the shelf of vehicles. Next, she walked over the bookshelves and gestured magnanimously. She’s a sweet little girl.

For the longest time she’s been throwing Dirty Simon everywhere: down the stairs, out of her crib, in empty boxes--then she gets upset. We couldn’t figure out why she did that, until BP realized she throws him where she wants to go. Makes perfect sense—why couldn’t we figure that out sooner? Dumb parents, we are.

She’s been walking for quite a while now—it’s such fun to watch her adorable penguin-like waddle. Now she tries to run too. It’s hilarious—she gets going a little too fast and her chubby little legs get caught up, her eyes get a little wide and splat! Down she goes. She gets back on her feet right away, with a smile.

We play hide-and-seek together. I run down the hall and hide in the guest room closet. She chases me; she finds me; “boo!” I shout. She puts her hand on my arm, laughs and turns heel, and runs the other way.

My "babies" are too old. :( Actually, I was just sharing a little cuteness from my six year old yesterday on my blog. She is losing teeth like crazy; becoming very interested in hair styles, although I disagree with her about what constitutes "pretty" hair; and, she is really beginning to read. I love watching a kid as they are learning to read. It is the best.

Cakes if adorable I love the daisy hat. And an ESFJ, huh? I love Myers-Briggs! I am an ENFP although I can't tell yet what my daughter is. Possibly an ESFP--which might kill me in the end. I have two good friends who are ESFPs and they are very busy people!

Have you read Nurture by Nature. It is parenting according to Myers-Briggs. Very good book. And a little bit like therapy for me. I read how to deal with an ENFP chid and thought, "Yes. That is how I should have been dealt with."

Thanks for sharing pictures of Cakes. I'm a bit of a babyaholic! Have a great day, too.

bumblebee's cutest thing at the moment is her repertoire of animal sounds. she squishes up her face to hiss like a snake, makes like a chipmunk, beats her belly like a gorilla and waves like an octopus. she also blows her nose and bosses luke around, which is really really funny since he's so much bigger. oh, there is so much more!...

He has a chrush on another blogosphere baby too... he's a player I think.

Some cuteness that he's been up to:

He's been playfully hitting his brother lately. This doesn't sound like much, but it really is the cutest thing to see him get out of the pure baby stage, adn into a stage where he can actually be playful with his brother.

now, I know cakes and lulu would hit it off.sounds like they are both THE cutest, and that they do all the same incredibly cute things.oh, and thaaaat's why lulu throws her bunny doudou down the stairs...ding.the light bulb just went on.and I jsut thought she was a drama queen.
